Soulful R.E.M. and Huey Lewis-covering Chicago roots-rockers Catfish Haven’s third album Devastator is out in October. The first single “Set In Stone”‘s an original, but it echoes any number of funky (but not Sly funky), multi-vocal classic rock anthems. You might hear the Howling Rain or Black Crowes, but again, with quicker funky guitar chords and a “You Belong To The City” saxophone with the scruffy CCR vocals. Also note: The leggy, hot pink Devastator album art makes sense, though a bit of dew-drop perspiration would’ve nailed the feeling, made it a tad less Glass Candy-meets-Chromeo.
Devastator is out 10/7 on Secretly Canadian.

Sweet! New Catfish Haven! These guys are amazing. This song is hot.
I’m drunk just listening to this and I love it.
This song makes me feel like those should be rollerskates on the cover.

Damn…is that Tina Weymouth on bass? This is pretty cool stuff – thanks SG.

Who doesn’t love Huey Lewis as much as I did when I was 13?

Sick, no?
I’ve been waiting for this… Great Track! Looking forward to hearing the rest!
Chicago LOVES Catfish Haven! Awesome cover boys!
I am digging the new track! Good to see they got some new stuff coming out cause it seems like they have been pretty quiet for the past year or so. I hear they are pretty big in Chicago but do not really draw well outside of there. Anyone know if this is true? It would be a crying shame if so.
PS: Tour with the hold steady again!
I can’t wait for this album to come out. Seems like I have been waiting forever for new Catfish music!
